Obedience

(Moses) Therefore, I teach you the statutes and decrees as the LORD, my God, has commanded me, that you may observe them in the land you are entering to occupy. Observe them carefully, for thus will you give evidence of your wisdom and intelligence to the nations, who will hear of all these statutes and say, 'This great nation is truly a wise and intelligent people.' For what great nation is there that has gods so close to it as the LORD, our God, is to us whenever we call upon him? (Deut 4: 5-7)

“When you have come to the edge of all the light you have
And step into the darkness of the unknown
Believe that one of the two will happen to you
Either you'll find something solid to stand on
Or you'll be taught how to fly!”

-Richard Bach

Who can listen to it?

“Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves." ... When they heard this they said, “This is a difficult statement; who can listen to it? He said to them, “Does this cause you to stumble? ... As a result of this many of His disciples withdrew and were not walking with Him anymore (Jn6: 53,60, 66)

St Augustine

Who shall grant me to rest in Thee? By whose gift shall Thou enter into my heart and fill it so compellingly that I shall turn no more to my sins, but embrace Thee my only good?

(From Confessions, ed. Foley)

God says of Moses:

"Throughout my house he bears my trust" (Num 12:7)

I long for you to rest Your trust in me, I long to be trustworthy. I ask for this grace, if it is for my good and my family's.

Like a stone turning over

"Sometimes when I cannot go out on account of the weather, I spend time
inside holding the holy host – the Body of Christ. I place my hands on it
and it signifies my touch on God within my darkness. It is like a stone
turning over, turning my inner conflict to inner peace though faith."
